Welcome Ascenders! If you have a fascination with nature, outdoors, space, the moon, planets, and the mysteries of the cosmos, then you'll love seeing the six planets that will be visible in the sky tomorrow (Jan. 25), forming an astronomical alignment known as a "planetary parade," and you can watch it live online.
Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Venus all meet up together on the same side of the sun in a wide arc above Earth — and most are visible to the naked eye under clear night skies. The Virtual Telescope Project in Italy is offering viewers a chance to catch this mesmerizing planetary alignment during a free webcast tomorrow.
Starting at 12:30 p.m. ET (1730 GMT) on Saturday (Jan. 25), astrophysicist Gianluca Masi of the Virtual Telescope Project will stream live telescope views of all six of the planets in marching order. You can watch the livestream courtesy of the Virtual Telescope Project directly on their website or YouTube channel.
Astronomers say that while this event might be overhyped as some type of "rare alignment," it's actually a regular occurrence in our night sky. "It's not exactly a rare event, but it's a rare enough event that allows us, in our really super fast-paced world, to give us an excuse to look up and be like 'Oh, wow.
